Control of molecular weight in Ni(II)-catalyzed polymerization via the reaction medium.
The reaction medium controls polymerization with highly active (kappa(2)-P,O)-phosphinesulfonato nickel methyl complexes to afford polyethylenes ranging from low molecular weight (M(n)) branched material to high molecular weight (M(n)) strictly linear polymer.
